As best as I understand it OS 9.2.x is officially supported only on Apple G3 or later Macs (Beige G3 or later).
Do not attempt to install OS 9.2.x on any unsupported Mac unless you are willing to risk the chance the system won't boot, possible drive problems, etc. Also as i understand it the OpenGL 1.2.2 installed by OS 9.2.1 is not compatible with 3Dfx graphics cards if that matters to you.
When I used XPostFacto on my 8500/Sonnet G3 PCI card i only had 9.1 installed because when i did that i was completely stupid ( not that I am any wiser now ) as to how to use XPost or what OS 9 should already be installed. Plus i was not aware of this forum to help me thru the installation of Tiger on a unsupported Mac. I only knew that I had to have an 2nd internal hard drive because the factory drive was only 4 or so GB. I also learned the hard way that i could only use the internal CD driver for installation because using an external CD drive results in a failed installation. Since I had to use the internal 8500 CD drive the installation disks had to be CD's ( unless that has changed ). I was lucky to get an Apple tech guy to provide me with a copy of Tiger on CD at no charge. Well that's my sad story about installing OS X on my unsupported Mac.
